Sunday saw Nepal take on the West Indies in a Group C tie in Mumbai, in the day's first game. Then Namibia and USA squared-off in Chennai in a Group A fixture. Finally the focus shifted to Colombo where arch-rivals India and Pakistan locked horns in another Group A tie.
All three games proved lopsided as West Indies, USA and India emerged victorious.
Here is a look at the day's top performers:
1. Jason Holder and Shai Hope for the West Indies: Former West Indies skipper Jason Holder set a match for his team with a decisive spell of 4/27. Thanks to his wickets, Nepal were restricted to a small total of 133/8. It was then the turn of current captain Shai Hope to deliver with the bat. Hope hammered an unbeaten 61 in 41 balls as West Indies clinched the match by 9 wickets. It was their third successive win and has ensured them a place in the Super Eights.
2. Monank Patel and Sanjay Krishnamurthi for USA: USA skipper Monank Patel and his teammate Sanjay Krishnamurthi both hammered half-centuries as the side put up a competitive total of 199/4. It helped USA win the match by 31 runs and stay alive in the tournament.
3. Ishan Kishan for India: Ishan Kishan continued his resurgence in international cricket as he starred for India in their big win over rivals Pakistan. The left-handed opener whacked 77 off 40 balls to help India get to a score of 175/7 on a pitch that wasn't easy to bat on. Pakistan hardly put up a fight as they were bowled out on 114.
